1146:: There have been some misunderstandings within this AFD, and some unusual deletion/editing of others' comments, I guess all in good faith though, involving perhaps some English-not-being-first-language issue and some unfamiliarity with AFD practices. Although I would prefer that no one should comment after every other persons' statements, I am okay with this stuff being discussed elsewhere, and I think it has not too seriously undermined things here. About the AFD subject: 31: 608:(admittedly most of them hotel reviews). All that counts is whether it's held to be notable or not. And that's up to us here at AfD. If you don't think it's notable that's of course your prerogative, but please don't attempt to dismiss and sneer at another editor's opinion because you don't agree with it. That's completely against the spirit of Knowledge. -- 895:. The waxing and waning of luxury hotels is, in fact, of interest to many, and is covered in news locally and sometimes more widely, in addition to offline historic stuff about the place before it was a hotel. This one is more historic and arguably notable than many other luxury hotel articles I've seen or contributed to. -- 1089:
The Ellis source is less than a page and doesn't describe the building much. Independent article is just passing coverage, it's literally less than a sentence. It's hard to tell what exacty the Scarborough article grants notability to, as it's mostly just an interview with the owners, only mentioning

Well, as the deletion nomination noted, there is significant coverage in the Ellis source, not much used in developing the article yet. And I added a bit more from The Independent article, and a little from this recent Scarborough local article (not yet recognized here, i guess searching so far has

Right, sure it may not be "in the news"; but it is substantial and there surely exists off-line resources and perhaps on-line resources not found, under different naming say. It does suffice to establish well enough that sources do exist or must exist. To the badgerers, please spare me badgering
545:
I'm mystified as to the editors who don't seem to think that opinion matters at AfD. If all that mattered were strict "rules" (once again, note that Knowledge doesn't have any rules) then we wouldn't have AfD discussions at all, as I've pointed out many times. I'm not aware I claimed my opinion was

If you can't back up your opinion with reliable sources, then your opinion's not worth anything. I'm astounded you keep digging yourself into a further hole by saying that whether something should be deleted or kept is based on "common sense." It's based on whether the subject is notable, which

607:
As have I. And in my experience common sense is usually a factor. Notability is entirely subjective, whether on Knowledge or elsewhere. As I said, if this were not the case we wouldn't have AfDs at all. The article is reliably sourced. The building exists. A Google search produces many results

Not relevant. Misread what I wrote. I directly said editors here are not idiots, how do you manage to twist that inside your head to say the opposite? It is obviously true that some editors in Knowledge are way more informed than others, about interpretation of architecture.

708:- Whatever notability the politician and his family has doesn't transfer over to the location in which they've lived. Having merely one reliable source isn't enough in terms of providing the detail that we need as well. The article as it stands doesn't appear worth keeping. 85:. The delete view appear to be based on a reasonable interpretation of policy and an absence of suitable sourcing. The keep votes are overall more assertion and/or non policy based arguments and therefore do not overcome the strength of the delete arguments. 1094:. My searches included newspapers.com and a British newspaper archive, all of the search pages brought up by Google and an alt search engine, and Google News, Google Books and Google Scholar - doesn't really feel imperfect as I did try to save this thing. 922:
search on that property only brought a couple of advertisements from the 1930s. If this is more arguably notable than many other hotels you've contributed to, it should be easy for you to source it adequately, which is ultimately the major test of AfD.
